Krish: The very first YouTube video was uploaded on 23rd April 2005. Yes, we’re all old.

Lucile: The difference between Simplified and Traditional Chinese is quite subtle for someone who cannot read chinese characters, but it makes a huge difference when adapting client documents in both languages. Including fonts – one font for Simplified Chinese may not work with Traditional Chinese, and vice versa. Also, Chinese is to be read from left to right. But careful with the order: the syntax of sentences is different, and a 2-line title may be switched upside down.For instance:White Paper
on Fine Watchmaking
Is read:
On Fine Watchmaking
White Paper

The ‘White Paper on Fine Watchmaking’ in simplified Chinese.
